We strongly suggest giving this video a watch. Not every question is answered, but what would you expext? ..a potential C7-based ZR1 to be revealed on YouTube? Reuss did give a great behind the scenes perspective of the Chevrolet mind sight, and more importantly the GM future with Cadillac. Take a half hour and check it out, it’s sure to entertain.
